which can basically be described as single transparent
sheets that hold particular pieces of an image. These
layers can contain images, text and vector graphics.
They can be rearranged and grouped according to
user needs.

 Selections. This refers to regions in an image that will
be affected by the various tools. Once you have
selected an area, you can apply a tool to it, such as
paintbrush, or perform an operation such as copy or
crop. Selections can be any shape and size; the shape
depends on which selection tool you are working with.
